Short Engineering Joke

Chief engineer: You told me that you would finish the layout in three days.
Engineer: Sure, but not three consecutive days!

The engineer then comes in to talk to his chief engineer. 

Engineer: "I'm having trouble with that power supply circuit you put me to work on."
Chief engineer:"OK, let's talk about it,  Is it oscillating?
Engineer: "No,it is stable."
Chief engineer:"How is the efficiency?"
Engineer: "About 87%"
Chief engineer:"Is there ringing on the gate?"
Engineer: "Nothing above normal."
Chief engineer:"What about noise and ripple?"
Engineer: "They are well within spec."
Chief engineer:"Then what's the problem?"
Engineer: "The darn thing's on fire!"
